Former Manchester United defender Gary Neville was surprised at the Red Devils’ performance, before Rashford put United 2-0 up in the second half.
“I’m actually really proud of these Manchester United players as a fan and I never thought I’d say that after the last few weeks,” Nevile told Sky Sports. “The fight and what they’ve been doing to Liverpool and then the quality they’ve put with it. Anyone who doubted United players could play at this level, they have.”
While Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher claimed his former side were “slow” in the first half and needed to improve. “They weren’t ready for a derby game,” Carragher said. “Fair play to Manchester United they’ve been outstanding and it almost looks like a fresh, energetic team against a team of old men who can’t around the pitch.”
